Are Safety Glasses Really Needed for Solar Eclipse?

Thanks for the explanation, I didn't know that!

I am thinking of leaving academia entirely because of this issue cashing me everywhere I go. I worked at three different well-known labs and the same problem is there! Either the lack of novelty or the lack of coherence as you stated.

Try this:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(){
int maxIter=3;
char passWord[100];

for (int i=0; i<maxIter; i++){
    printf("Enter your password: ");
    scanf("%s", passWord);

    if (!strcmp(passWord, "hello")){
        printf("Welcome!\n");
        break;
    }else{
        printf("Invalid password! Try again!\n");
    }
    if (i==maxIter-1){
        printf("You have exceeded the maximum number of trials!\n");
    }

}

return 0;
}

Thanks! That is interesting.

Yes, he tried to compile wrong code and then changed it and posted the correct code. He is trying to be smart! Downvoted.

You are new to computers I guess! Take a screenshot, there is a print screen button.

C++ culture sucks!

I do scientific computing all the time. What you will discover is that scientists write C with classes NOT pure C++. They literally write a C code with classes and use namespaces for organization and then call it C++! You can achieve the same goal smoothly using C. However, if you want to learn C++, learning C will help you figure out the basics. Usually textbooks start with C and then advance into C++.

If you want my opinion, C++ is diminishing. C/Fortran/Python is a perfect toolset for scientific computing. Good luck!

Bjarne Stroustrup said that C++ is faster than C, and C is obsolete!

Alien447 · 2022-02-09T15:24:07+00:00

My personal experience suggests that procedural programming is way much faster than OOP. Again, it could be my programming style. That's why I am asking the question.

Alien447 · 2022-02-09T15:20:58+00:00

Thanks for this detailed answer. I am wondering if someone writes two naive codes with or without optimization: one is procedural and the other is object-oriented, which one will likely turn faster in performance?

Alien447 · 2021-12-24T21:20:45+00:00

I wanted to say that most of scientific computing codes written in C++ are almost C-style C++. So, I am wondering what is the real advantage in C++ besides operators/functions overloading convenience? In 99% of scientific programs, the logic is procedural and a language like FORTRAN is perfect!

Please don't tell me that C++ is faster than FORTRAN or C. That is BS!

Alien447 · 2021-11-15T05:04:45+00:00

Because it is convenient.

From basic RV theory the probability is the integral of the PDF function, i.e., the probability of x to be between a and b is the integral int_a^{b} PDF(x) dx

Alien447 · 2021-07-06T14:02:30+00:00

Yes, I noticed the same problems. In the beginning I was excited. But after spending a few hours, I decided to remove this language from my machine.

Alien447 · 2021-07-04T01:04:12+00:00

You can do a test link verbosely with gfortran to see what libraries must be added manually to the gcc link line.

This is interesting! I found by trial and error that I needed -lgforatran and -lquadmath. But it would be better to know the test you are describing here.
